Hi Lawrence,
This is a 1 rappen coin from Switzerland. They are made of bronze and the 1936 date ranges in value from $0.50 for a well used coin to $15 for one in mint condition. If you would like to post a follow-up question with a clear picture of the coin I can give you more exact information on the condition and value.
Thanks for the question! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
